SEATTLE STAR MONDAY, MARCH 19, 1928. CRISIS THE NORTHWEST FARMER IS FACING | A reader, several of him, writes the editor About recent Star farm editorials and si @ffect: “What you bothering about the thing for? We always have had more Stuff than we could consume, and we always sexvill,”” That's a typical city viewpoint, but The Star believes it’s as wrong in fact as it is wrong in | principle. We believe that the time is coming fast when The Seattle Star Star Hopes Eatonville Wins If you like good, clean athletics; if you appreciate a fast sketball game, vl] want to see the Eatonville high shoo! quintet go back to Chicago and compete in the Amer championships tournament. And you'll contribute, if @ can, to make that trip possib! : The Eatonville boys deserve heartiest support of stball lovers here. With a small school in a small fackwoods town, Eatonville has won a place on the inter- holastic map of the country.

How good wine is!’” hat sounds more human. And Napoleon was childishly death drew near, while rats scurried ta and fro in the ling corridors: “He would cough so loud that he d be heard all over the house. The emperor died with- ut the slightest perceptible convulsion and without the last stiffening. He went out as the light of a lamp goes that light now burning elsewhere? fapoleon, vain to the point of egomania, was constantly ie watch for anything that he could interpret as a it, St. Denis wrote, was absolutely like a child.” He knew that he caught cold easily, yet he never hurried shelter when caught in the rain while out walking. In reading, if he liked a book he replaced it carefully on he library shelv If the book bored him, he showed ly displeasure, often throwing the volume into the fire. Tm his last days, he wore his clothes until they were abby, then had the tailor “turn” them. He never used gloves, except occasionally on horseback. ie emperor never wore any jewelry except a watch,” uns the valet’s record. Probably this was due to fear that jewelry might detract from attention that he wanted ex- usively for his person. oe Napoleon was an abnormal creature. His career re- ed the rise and fall of his diseased pituitary gland. He a genius at leadership and organization. But person- he was a type that few of us would invite to call again, ing from his valet’s book. So much for one of the 25 ost powerful personalities that ever lived. ‘The vanity of human life is like a river, constantly passing away, and constantly coming on.—Pope. A New Russia Emerging - A better picture of conditions in Soviet Russia is painted ith the words of Col. W. N. Haskell, in charge of Ameri- can relief administration abroad, just returned from Rus- Says Col. Haskell, in part: : “Cereals are so ridiculously cheap that Russian farmers cannot make enough to purchase n ities, which in turn hrottles existing Russian industri We hear of no starv- ion in Russia and while under-nourishment is general, ‘ially among children, we believe not over 1,000,000 in “Russia would starve if all'foreign relief stopped today. Conditions are immeasurably better now than anticipated last fall. No requests have been received for increased food program. “What Russia now needs is money or credit against hich it can purchase necessities to rehabilitate agricul- ture, transportation, vital industries, place medical insti- tutions on a permanent basis and destroy ravages of pests in the agricultural areas. “Economic reconstruction is outside the province of the erican relief administration, which is purely an emerg- organization for the amelioration of famine condi- ons. In other words, Russia has ceased to be but an object of arity, and it is time for the state department to look at oviet Russia as a great neighboring republic, slowly struggling back to economic recovery, in spite of our pious ness. Have a Keer, Evelyn! It appears that Evelyn Lyons, the Escanaba “fever rl,” was just having fun with the doctors. ‘The medical arps have discovered that she had in bed with her a hot water bottle and sent her temperature up to 118 by simply holding the thermometer against it. And she sure rattled the medical profession of the whole country, for, by rights, #he should have died at a much lower temperature. Tit for tat, was Evelyn's idea. 'The doctors had operated on her three times and she got back at them with a hot water bottle. Satisfaction, compensation, reciprocation, evenge, all in a simple hot water bottle. But, the Lord lyn if the surgeons get another chance at her! this country is not going to have an abundance of food, unless we city folks wake up. Maybe this is the too: In the year ending November 80, 1922, 626 farms in Washington, Idaho, Montana and Oregon were sold under mortgage foreclosure by the 12th district federal farm loan bank, These farms were sold under the hammer to pay over-due loans, amounting to some four million dollars.

Here are a few simple directions. Cutthem out and keep them for references When you wash linoleum Inthe kitchen, pantry, and bathroom, where water is likely to be spilled, linoleum has to be washed frequently. Use warm, sudsy water and a good, mild soap like Ivory. Wash about a square yard at a time, rinse, and dry carefully. Don’t use alkaline soaps or scrubbing powders, They will harm any finely finished wood or linoleum. Don’t allow water to stand around the edges or seams of the linoleum. Moisture may seep through and make the floor damp. Varnish printed linoleum If you have printed lino leum you can make the design wear longer by var- nishing it. Wash your lino- leum floor and then give it two coats of colorless, elastic, waterproof varnish. Give the varnish abouttwenty-four hours to dry be fore you walk on the floor. Renew the varnish once a year and the pattern will last indefinitely. And the fine, glossy varnished surface is easily wiped up as needed with a damp cloth. Wax inlaid and plain linoleum The easy way to take care of inlaid, plain, or Jaspé linoleum is to wax it. If you are getting new linoleum, wash it as soon as it is laid. Then give it two thin coats of a standard floor wax. Rub the wax thoroughly into thelinoleum, and po- ish with a weighted brush, This smooth, polished surface is easy to keep looking its best. About all you need to do is go Its a simple task to beep « waned aoleem poor bobing ight ond clean, A Jem strokes with a dry mep at dusting time docs the work, permanently dn place requires no siretching or retrimming.

At the doorways, and wherever the wear is heavy, you will have to re- new the wax occasionally. You can take up muddy footprints with a damp cloth, Once or twice a year you may restore the wax coat- ing completely. That is all the refinishing the floor ordinarily will require. Under such care the linoleum actually gets better-looking. Time gives it a rich, mellowed appearance. Remember, don’t use the old- fashioned scrubbing-brushes and scouring-soaps on lino- leum. It’s a hard way to clean, and it isn’t necessary. Waxing is the better way.
